'select CRYPTO_AES' should 'select CRYPTO' automatically, I would hope.

This would result in a recursive dependency.

No, it wouldn't.  CRYPTO_AES depends on CRYPTO, which depends on nothing.

Thing is, CRYPTO_AES on only selectable on x86.

So really, IEEE80211_CRYPT_CCMP should depend upon CRYPTO_AES rather than
selecting it.  But that confuses users.
